Ghost/ Energy Sword/ Thruster Pack



For me it's DMR, Ghost, Hardlight

DMR seems to be the best all around but really shines on mid to long range. Up close it's not the best but can still do work.
Ghost but only because I don't play much big team. I find that on 4v4 it's an awesome distraction.
Hardlight just saves my ass, plain and simple. I think that in certain situations most of the abilities are awesome (even though I only use a couple) and it's a thing of beauty to watch a well oiled team work in harmony using multiple abilities. I've only been on the receiving end of that last part but I still appreciate the skills.

A funny thing happened last night when I was playing with a friend. At one point, we were both using Hardlight and we were close to each other when an opponent fired a sticky detonator round near by. It looked so cool when we both backed up towards the wall and broke out the Hardlights as the round exploded. I imagined it would be real cool to have a whole team of dudes or even a big team with Hardlights all lined up freakin' Spartan phalanx style.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Every weapon in Halo has it's own place, that is another reason why I love the game. The only one I haven't put any time into(multiplayer wise) is the storm rifle, but I will eventually.

I guess the sniper rifle (human) will always be a personal favorite of mine, same with shotgun. I'm very fond of the dmr as well. Incineration cannon is the most powerful weapon in the game. Only weapon that can take out any vehicle in a single shot.

going by kills (personally):  

dmr/banshee/promethean vision



I really like the Binary Rifle but never seem to get it in my ordnance. :( My next favorite one's are the Beam riffle and the Scattershot.

My favorite vehicle is the Gauss Warthog in Exile. Once when driving that vehicle, the guy controlling the turret got 47 kills thanks to me :) .

Binary Rifle because it's just a better version of the other sniper rifles.

Scorpion because it can kill every other vehicle or thing in one hit.

Promethean vision because it stops campers. =P



Keep in mind that I'm a campaigner.

Weapons:

Halo CE: Plasma Rifle


Effective against both Covenant and Elites

Halo 2: Battle Rifle


Great for head shots

Halo 3: Covenant Carbine


Head shots as fast as you can pull the trigger

Halo 3 ODST: M6S


Silent head shots

Halo Reach: DMR


Takes everything down at range

Halo 4: Tie between DMR and Light Rifle


Love them both for the same reason. Find a safe spot and fire from a distance.

Vehicles:

Halo CE: Scorpion Tank


You can use both the main cannon and machine gun. No need for a co-op player

Halo 2: Ghost


Fast as hell, run baddies over, and shoots. What more could you want?

Halo 3: Hornet (AV-14 Attack VTOL)


Mini guns and lock on missiles. Need I say more?

Halo 3 ODST: Gauss Cannon Warthog


There's just something very satisfying about the Gauss Cannon.

Halo Reach: Sabre (YSS-1000)


Love Sabre level. Makes me want a new Colony Wars game.

Halo 4: Tie between Broadsword and Mantis


The Broadsword level does Star Fox gameplay better than the last few Star Fox games. The Mantis is a mech and we don't have enough mech games.

Armor Abilities:

Halo Reach: Sprint
I have a need for speed.

Halo 4: Sentry
Since sprint is default, I love the distraction that the Sentry gives me so I can go around from another angle ans surprise my prey.


God I love Halo games!



I use dmr, promethean vision so I can see camo noobs when they're on screen and campers with boltshot hiding around the corner, stealth or explosives.

So far I've managed a 1.97 k/d with these. I would use jetpack but I'm using the bumper jumper button layout.
DMR destroys BR all the time. It's kill time is something around a tenth of a second better at all ranges.

Boltshot is OP, I've hit a 2 for 1 with it. A 2 for 1 secondary default weapon? Yeah, overpowered.

Dude...

 

OT:

 

Weapons

 

Halo: CE - Pistol

By far the best weapon in any Halo game. Three headshots is all it takes to kill an enemy spartan. Effective at all ranges.

 

Halo 2 - Battle Rifle

The best Battle Rifle in any Halo game. It shoots both faster and more accurately than any other.

 

Halo 3 - Battle Rifle

While inferior to its Halo 2 version, it is still the best all-around weapon you can find. Four perfect bursts is all it takes at close- and mid-range to kill an opponent.

 

Halo 3: ODST - Covenant Carbine

The scope might not reach as far as the pistol's in this game, but you will pretty much never find a point where the bullets won't reach. And they are far stronger than pistol bullets, even though the magazine is bigger.

 

Halo: Reach - DMR

Excellent scope, reaching almost as far as that of a Sniper Rifle. Needle Rifle might shoot faster, but it also takes many more bullets and the scope is vastly inferior.

 

Halo 4 - Light Rifle

While the bullets are actually weaker than that of a DMR and a Battle Rifle burst in this game when you are not aiming down your scope, it still takes an equal amount of triggers (5) to take a fully shielded enemy out. Its strongest side though is at long range where its scope reaches further away than any other rifle, and all it takes is four bullets to the head to get a kill; all other long range weapons (except Snipers) require at least 5 at all ranges.

 

And yes, I purposefully avoided all power weapons.

 

Vehicles

 

Halo: CE - Warthog

Its gun is far strongerand more accurate than any other found in the game. All this accompanied with its superior speed. Scorpions might have a very powerful gun and turret, but both of them are extremely inaccurate. Not to mention that just a few turret bullets to the shell is all it takes to take a scorpion driver out.

 

Halo 2 - Gauss Warthog

Excellent speed, acceleration, accuracy and firepower at all ranges. Though the scorpion has a much more accurate main gun and turret this time around, it is no match for a rocket launcher and people bording it due to its incredibly slow speed. Ghosts, Banshees and Spectrees are no match for a Gauss Warthog. The Scorpion might win easily in a duel, but overall it has less advantages.

 

Halo 3/ODST - Scorpion tank

This time the tank is perfect. Still extremely accurate, much faster than the Halo 2 tank and there is a separate seat for the turret user, allowing the tank to shoot in two different directions at the same time.

 

Halo 4 - Mantis

While being more vulerable to rockets and lasers than the Scorpion tank, it is also more agile. Stomping effectively takes out enemies trying to board it, and its recharging shields makes it reliable until the second it is destroyed, unlike all other vehicles who are at constant danger once they are heavily damaged.

 

Armour abilities

 

Halo: Reach - Armour lock

An armour ability that was so powerful that it was even removed in the following release. If you ever get hit by a plasma grenade, or risk getting hit by an enemy with a rocket launcher, just use this ability and chances are you will survive and kill the attacker in the process. Not to mention how it kills enemies trying to roadkill you.

 

Halo 4 - Thruster pack

This allows you to easily escape from losing a firefight, and to effectively use your close range weapons even if your targets are far away.
